Charity events are vital to help them raise money and awareness for a number of great causes. You may often have seen people doing sponsored climbs, fitness challenges or even giving up certain things for a period of time in order to raise sponsorship but did you know that you could use your gaming skills to do it? Many charities are happy for you to run your own fundraising event and what better way to do it than through something you enjoy. Why not get your friends to join you in a 24 hour gaming marathon. Set yourself up a sponsorship page and get sharing, you may be surprised how quickly the money starts coming in. Before you start gaming you could set up a live stream for people to follow if they want to and for you to keep them updated as to how you are doing. You may also want to devise a list of games that you will play throughout the day and night. Some charities will even send you tshirts or caps you can wear when you are doing your gaming event so don’t forget to update your social media posts to help raise awareness for your charity.
